You have made me want bruschetta with tomatoes! I have YET to find heirloom tomatoes here in FL. I tried growing some myself, but the plants didn’t work out so well. Our recipes are about the same, except I add a little squeeze of lemon.
(haha. Good thing I double checked. Bruschetta had been auto-corrected to brisket. Not so much!)
It’s so delicious. In Italy I learned to make it with just garlic but this is so good.
Just garlic on the grilled or toasted bread? If so, that is the basic bruschetta, which translates as grilled or toasted bread. This one has insalata di pomodori (tomato salad,) but bruschetta could be made with many different toppings. (But I’m certain you knew that. 😉 )
I don’t know if this will sound silly but the fact you mention the key to any good recipe being love makes me think I could actually create this in my own kitchen. I have love even if I’m not a fabulous cook/chef 🙂
It is really easy–just try it! You could do it! and I guarantee it’s yummy. A nice lunch on a crusty good bread. Healthy, too! Do it, Carla!
Oh yum….did not know about the Trader Joe’s frozen garlic…I want to make this soon. Thanks!
My heirlooms are beginning to ripen and I’m going to make this for sure. Thanks for posting the recipe!
Let me know how you like it.
Sounds delicious and since I have my own heirloom tomatoes (they really are the best) and I have lots and lots of fresh basil and it’s supposed to be 103 today it looks like a light dinner for us tonight!
That will be perfect for today!
YUM! I always make mine with Arugula, which makes it pretty peppery. Next time I’ll try it with all the Basil that’s growing in our yard:)
I’m not an arugula fan, although my neighbors gives us tons. I’ll try it that way one day.
I love bru-shetta. I may be pronouncing it wrong but I eat it right.
I’m pretty sure it tastes better with the proper pronunciation.
Looks great, and thanks for stressing the proper pronunciation! As someone who studied Italian a million years ago, it’s a pet peeve of mine…even in restaurants where it’s served, they get it wrong. But really, no matter how you say it, this is a dynamite combination of ingredients!
I know. I even hear friends who know better (Italian) do it.
We just polished off some spagetti that I made with wonderfully fresh and juicy tomatoes! Now to try this out soon, Carol. Thanks!
Oh now that sounds yummy!
Looks and sounds delicious. I will definitely try making it. And extra thank you for the tip on TJ’s frozen garlic. Didn’t know about that.
I love bruschetta. Trader Joe’s. Basil. Heirloom tomatoes.
With the farmer’s markets we go to every weekend I have most of these ingredients. YUM!
Thanks, Carol. We always have fresh garlic on hand so I’ll use that instead. Can’t wait!
I love Bruschetta and was so totally spoiled in Italy. I order a farm basket that delivers to my house and I love when they feature heirloom tomatoes. I have some coming tomorrow and will make this. The other thing is finding great bread. I’ve been making my own lately from scratch using a starter. Yum!
Hi, Carol! I’ve MISSED you!
And it is so like you to welcome me back with a tasty, tasty recipe. I love bruschetta! I’ve never heard of heirloom tomatoes (yes, I live in a cave somewhere…) Haven’t seen them where I live. My brother raised hydroponic tomatoes years ago and I haven’t been able to find anything here that matches them for flavour – sun-ripened and delicious. It sounds like these would be even better. There is nothing – nothing – like a vine-ripened tomato. I’m going to try this recipe anyway…
I could eat this stuff all day long—sooo delicious!
What a perfect recipe for the heat wave we are having here in Philly. I am so excited because my neighbor has fresh Heirlooms in her garden and she is bringing some over! Thank you for sharing.
Now THIS I can make! I never knew that about heirloom tomatoes. You are such a plethora of good info!
We’re having this for dinner tonight–can’t WAIT!
Looks wonderful! I must try this.
We make ours exactly the same and I adore this recipe! Those tomatoes look amazing. I’m going to have to make this now you have officially wet my appetite for it! Totally yum!
That looks delish! One of my favorite appetizers.
